    Piko, the singer known for his dual voice range and performing covers on Nico Nico Douga and various anime OSTs, has announced a hiatus as he will focus on treatment for his kidney disease (end stage renal disease). 

     

    Piko began having problems since late March, and has experienced fatigue since May. As his condition deteriorated, he has been hospitalized since June. It is believed that another medical issue from ten years ago led to the current diagnosis, but went unnoticed. He has been going through dialysis three times a week and takes medication. He also had to undergo surgery to implant a shunt due to the repeated dialysis. His parents are also willing to be kidney donors if a transplant is needed. 

     

    As a result, his upcoming lives have been cancelled, including a guest appearance at Gero Live 2019 ~Reiwa Rampage Tour~ in October and a twoman with Pokota in November.

    Yumeleep's official statement on Urara's dismissal/withdrawal/firing/whatever ☕☕☕

     

    Key points include:

    - Urara had wanted to leave the band for a while (which can be found on his own statement as well); he repeated this many times to members

    - He had also wanted to quit visual kei as well ("I'm not in a band to take cheki"; "I want to quit makeup"; "it's troublesome putting on this horn")

    - The drums from the live-limited single they released recently were done by machine due to budget issues with mixing, so Urara never participated/was not included in the recording

    - Members have pointed out (in member comments below) that Urara is a different person onstage and offstage. They have been dissatisfied with his poor conduct in band activities, such as reoccurring incidents where he may disclose band info to other people,  so the band held a staff meeting to deescalate the situation. However, during the meeting when Urara was confronted with these accusations, he appeared to have no desire to change his behavior so the meeting ended abruptly.

    -Second page - members attempted to correct Urara's behavior to no avail; it's also interesting how it was pointed out that long gone members of the band were quoted as saying they couldn't stay because of Urara. 

    - This part is a little sketchy to me, so help would be appreciated - the band had initially announced that Urara withdrew, so that if it were revealed first thing that he was actually fired, he wouldn't be able to perform anymore and retire. They also acknowledge his statement on being bullied and harassed, but I can't quite decipher the whole thing.

     

    I am not a translator whatsoever, so please don't quote me on this. Also corrections are welcome.

    D+ (not to be confused with the currently active D), a minor band that was active in the early 2000s in Niigata, will revive for one day on 11/4 at Niigata Showcase. Although performing under that name, the band will be performing other songs.
